This paper analyzes the impact of metro station proximity on property value from both theoretical and empirical perspectives. Data on second-hand apartments within six kilometers of metro line 1 and 2 stations in Nanjing are used. Our empirical results show that metro station proximity has a positive partial effect on property value. The degree of impact diminishes with the increase of the dist...

We attempt to identify the different node hubs of a road network using PageRank for preparation for possible random terrorist attacks. The robustness of a road network against such attack is crucial to be studied because it may cripple its connectivity by simply shutting down these hubs. We show the important hubs in a road network based on network structure and propose a model for robustness a...

When providing travel guides for a specific route in a metro network, we often place the route around the center of the map and annotate stations on the route with thumbnail photographs. Nonetheless, existing methods do not offer an effective means of customizing the network layout in order to accommodate such large annotation labels while preserving its planar embedding. This paper presents a ...

In this paper, we explore whether the geography of bank services has been converging toward the market since banking geographic deregulation. We use Illinois as a study area and examine changes in various market segments such as metro and non-metro markets, and regional markets. We adopt the Spatial Concentration Index (SCI) and the related supply and demand SCI deviations to measure changing s...

Most transit networks are designed empirically. For bus networks this process 1s often satisfactory because bus routes and networks are very dependent on local conditions, and they can be easily modified, allowing easy corrections of problems which line design may cause in operations. However, with transit systems which have extensive infrastructure, most typically metro lines and networks, cor...

the main tasks of ‘environmental graphics’ have been designated as: provision of instructions and essential information, environmental embellishment, ease of interconnection and visual identity establishment all of which can affect the culture and identity of the audience through an unconscious process. if we consider, on the one hand, the crisis of identity and cultural problems of the present...
